Chris Miller grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been a home brewer since 1989. He has been a tinkerer since a child, frequently getting in trouble for taking things apart, such as his father’s reel to reel tape recorder. For a grammer school book report, Chris built a motorized movie on a paper roll in a shoe box. His favorite toy was a 75-in-one electronics kit from Radio Shack.
His first career spanned a decade as an automotive technician, working for car dealerships in the South Bay. For the last 16 years Chris has worked in Information Technology as a system administrator and programmer, and most recently an entrepreneur. In 2000 he built one of the first large home breweries, with a capacity of 45 gallons. The brewery is fully self contained, with on-board electricity, water management, and designed to fit through a standard home doorway for storage. It even got published in Brew Your Own magazine.
OttoBrew is a culmination of Chris’ skills in electronics, mechanics, and computers, learned over his lifetime.
Bennett Roesch is a developer and designer who loves to build cool things. Programming fulfills his basic, genetic carpenter urges. There is nothing quite like building something from the ground up. Clean code is satisfying on a deep, deep level.
His favorite beer is Keystone Light. Seriously. (Not really.) He runs occasionally with the local Drinking Club with a Running Problem.
He can imagine nowhere in the world he would rather be than in Downtown Santa Cruz, California.
Albert Deguzman
Albert loves beer for breakfast and a couple beers at night. Well crafted beer is made with love, care, and patience. The problem is that Albert does not have what it takes to make good beer manually. So, he ended up joining team Ottobrew hoping that he could help build the most awesome beer making machine ever.

For too long Beer has had the upper hand. Computers and their sensitive circuitry have been victim to the ruthless & evil conductivity inherent in beer. We need to unite and restore the power to the processors. Help us build Ottobrew and give technology the upper hand, give computers a chance to dictate the terms to beer! I’m Merrick Clark and I approve this message.
